Benedict R. O'G. Anderson is the Aaron L. Binenkorb Professor Emeritus of International Studies, Government, and Asian Studies at Cornell University. His works include Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism, Language and Power: Exploring Political Cultures in Indonesia, and The Spectre of Comparisons: Nationalism, Southeast Asia, and the World.
"These writings, largely unknown the wide audience Anderson now commands, offer specialists and nonspecialists alike a fascinating perspective on Indonesian culture, as well as an intellectual chronology of a major Southeast Asianist and social theorist."-J. Joseph Errington "A wonderful collection, rich in ideas and interpretations. In my reading, the central theme of this book is the crisis in Javanese culture which began in the seventeenth century and the attempts of successive generations of Javanese-Indonesians to deal with the crisis."-R. William Liddle
